Python for Finance Cookbook

Getting ready

In this recipe, we download Twitter's (adjusted) stock prices for the year 2018. We use Yahoo Finance to download the data, as described in the Getting data from Yahoo Finance recipe, found in Chapter 1, Financial Data and Preprocessing. Follow these steps:

1. Import the libraries:

import pandas as pd import yfinance as yf

2. Download the adjusted prices:

df_twtr = yf.download('TWTR',                        start='2018-01-01',                        end='2018-12-31',                       progress=False,                       auto_adjust=True)

For creating the plot, we use the plotly and cufflinks libraries. For more details, please refer to the Visualizing time series data recipe, found in Chapter 1, Financial Data and Preprocessing.
